Strategy Overview
Chandelure sports a unique Fire / Ghost typing that gives it three useful immunities, which when combined with its high Special Attack stat and versatility in speed control through Trick Room or Choice Scarf gives it many uses in VGC. Unfortunately, it sports 5 weaknesses to common attacking types in VGC and hates most spread and priority moves. On top of that, common Pokemon resist one of its STAB moves, including Rotom-W and Garchomp, which can be a downside to using Chandelure.
